Metrology of Health-Related Quality of Life Measurements in Adults and Adolescents with Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2020
Background: Scoliosis impacts Quality of Life (QOL). Stabilization exercises have been shown to be effective for improving patient reported outcomes (PROMS.); however, our literature review examining the effects of such exercises on QOL showed that such studies in adults with scoliosis are...

Reliability and Effect of Arm Positions Used During Imaging on Spinal Alignment Parameters in Healthy and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Populations
DownloadSpring 2024
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a 3D spine disorder with lateral curvature, vertebral rotation, and sagittal changes. AIS affects 2-3% of the adolescent population. Adolescents with progressive idiopathic scoliosis receive numerous x-rays throughout their treatment, exposing them to...

Reliability of Three-dimensional Ultrasound Parameters and Their Correlation with the Progression of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
DownloadFall 2016
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal deformity with unknown causes and with prevalence of 1.5 - 3% of adolescents. If AIS is left untreated, it may progress, leading to back pain, cardiopulmonary problems, and psychosocial concerns, and eventually resulting in...

The Reliability and In-exercise Reduction of Frontal and Rotational Ultrasound Measurements for Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis Performing Scoliosis-specific Exercises
DownloadFall 2018
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spine deformity of unknown cause characterized by abnormal lateral curvature (Cobb angle>10°) with vertebral rotation. AIS affects 2-3% of all adolescents whom are likely to progress during their growth spurt preceding skeletal maturity. The Scoliosis...
